Body Unbound - the latest book by Jean-Paul Bourdier - explores human existence through the physical, the ethereal, and our cultural ancestry. For the first time, the author also reveals the preparation behind his work through architectural sketches, and shares his inspiration through hand-written contemplative verse. As always, Jean-Paul uses no digital enhancement; it is all analog photography. What you see on the page is what was really there.
“Unbound is a book of unrestrained beauty and freedom, yet it is also art borne of science. It speaks through color, motion, perspective, whimsy, and flair. From a true Master.”
Photographs have been assembled so as to suggest our ongoing experience with the four elements of nature: earth, water, air, and light. As such, I strive to present a carefully coded narrative of our life and time on earth.
Sketches are interspersed throughout the book to share with the viewer the preparation and production design behind the more complex shots. Short stanzas, hand-written by me, share a resonance, and an underlying message.
The design incorporates double-page images meant to immerse the viewer into an experience of being.
Portraits are presented alongside more elaborately staged images to give insight into the nature of the many volunteers who have helped with the project, without whom it could not have come to be.
